Live Webcam Kontiolahti Biathlon Stadium, Finland
Live webcam shows the Kontiolahti Biathlon Stadium in Finland.
The Kontiolahti Biathlon Stadium is located in the North Karelia region of Eastern Finland, 100 km from the Russian-Finnish border and 15 km north of Joensuu, the administrative center of the province. The biathlon complex “Kontiolahti” is a popular year-round training center for national and foreign athletes due to the large amount of snow and the high quality of the tracks.
Cross-country skiing and shooting competitions as well as biathlon World Cup events are regularly held here. The stadium hosted the Biathlon World Championships in 1999 and 2015. It has a wide, 1.5 km-long cross-country ski trail, and thanks to refrigeration units, the trails are opened every year at the beginning of October, before the natural snow cover appears.
